Getting Started - Moonlit cove 1/9 - Part1

I probably hate this time the most. a blank canvas and you have no idea what you want to paint. well, since I still don't know what I want to paint yet... this is just cheap foam board. A foam board. I covered it in Gesso. and just use it for practice, that's all. this is what I did the other big wave on. with the big wave crashing over. but yeah, I'll probably of course just practice seascape. this is my brush cleaner. A big peanut butter jar with some chicken wire--fence in there. So you just stick your brush in there... decompression rub it on the wire, and it gets it nice and clean. These are cheap paints from Walmart. they were like five bucks (dollars). Just so I'd have an assortment of colors. Got my Naples yellow, Veridian,... Cerulean Blue, white (titanium white), Payne's Grey... those right there are probably the colors that I'll use the most in seascapes. everything can pretty much be derived from that. I try to limit the Paynes grey and I don't use black. By mixing burnt umber and some, either Cobalt or Ultramarine Blue, I can get a pretty deep color black. (and add a little yellow to it). I don't know if you can see that or not. This right here is actually (it's almost green-ish), but that was a mixture of those colors. and actually some green in there too. I'm not happy with that really at all. I started adding more detail into this. I want to add more detail into this big cloud here not happy with the whale... doesn't look anything like I want. This was just to show where I want the dark cloud here... that is going to have some highlights from the sun I'll play with it when I get to it someday. on different ideas this one fence thank you know storm this was my first field storming Co I was not happy with the way it was going so I just I just stop grabbed a another campus which is basically have painted over neway on some older campuses sense and these of you can still see the remnants over Bob Ross mouton here I'll thats few things this one I still don't know what I wanna do it this I'm a change to our caller more to an orange and do like maybe worship here maybe put a headland dark hear me per ship I don't want center that's the thing that's wrong with this is horizon line is almost its entire so it's not going to work so I just started paying your as you can this was an All pain to you can see years remnants of a Bob Ross mountain their own eyes doing this five years ago IP and over a law my previews p I wasn't happy with the way this was going inside you start throwing color Merrin actually internet half on I like this guy ended up going doing home wash over it cuz most was this very much just Gavin funny just aren't going well you I let's once I've tried bunch over paintings Alan this 1i did in black black just a i again I get to hung up with clogged because as a as a meteorologist II focus too much on the clouds and and ruining them this one mouse that was not there be a huge day wasn't happy with the water at Lancer doing okay but the slow up that's wrong should be getting closer to you instead sloping again all of this is practice and learning so me the whole wave crashing on this rock on I'll probably just start over with start over with this one actually I think I've started the trying to do view from C about for months ago and wasn't working out and then I got the DVD so no more this one and is know the work in progress this summer to other one idea this one's for my mother other again the clouds are not working for me I might just leave it get some %uh this detail and you foam done on probably tone down do some better transparency in that way there I'm and I want to know silly little rocks on the beach here because I think ruined last one taller so salt is to the pain on campus know the this was still has a lot of potential saw still keep working on it this one Unisa present for my mother also ok keep working on it now Yahtzee studios doing about being gray I ended up just getting mad at it and basically ruined so I'll probably start again that big wave it was be ground crashing wave coming in here but everything else choppy so the roundness this way didn't matched choppiness arrest in the water plus I didn't put a large enough gap between horizon which can you can see yes halsey exactly halfway which is wrong you don't want that Tom just clout it was over here was almost looking like a land mass and so so just going away starting so that one up there this 1i I've paid that we I think three or four times no I finally just tired trying to make it perfect and think I just took my pal I grab some white yes stuck to his chest skills just called if put in some phone here put him some foam on the walls here that transfer she actually looks pretty good your on but the rest is this you me fixed up I don't like the way that turned out with her putting a green top headland merry ruined it so I can go back in put in more brown that that actually doesn't look half bad now I said half any American worker annie these I wanna practice doing some on this and I still to know what wanna do I'm I me practice doing me views from C but I don't know me do a quick sky do to some way going moon or something just practice are having pizza mixed up or anything so me you know this stuff out on the campus for see how much power and I'll be right back I'll this is the makeup brush I've borrowed store from my wife for a Blaney works very well but as a Stephen chuckle can be careful cuz it does leave small here's this I'll little synthetic makeup brush on a throwaway because that would just are falling apart breaking and leaving here everywhere so I don't recommend actually use this is an all the Bob Ross brush for a bush's and for you I still use it blood I use it as my mic as a blending brush which a also have hope a blending brush from Bob Ross back in the day when I was learning how to paint om me you have some cheapo little russia's for lani but I'll I still mostly brushes more I'll the blending brush is actually use the most are how I got are grocery store actually has a little I'll have I'll you know budget stuff for like fixing your home do it do it yourself kind of things like spray-paint things of that nature left a these these work fine for blending I have a lot of different brushes this is my favorite brush for detail work I stole it from miss you borrowed it from my wife Shia mmm she used to do a lot of work with acrylics so love her brushes she use for acrylics have up Mar so very some fine detail brushes some synthetic pressure Cesar I love these synthetic brushes for dewey most of the detail down to in small enough at work company brush this right here when it comes to fine fine detail work this little Russia here is small sable brush so-so Kenya such fine blending with this better than I can this disabled to yes just just house so and me gets pain now on Howard think about what want paid me yeah throw composition their little bit and be right back
